Soft tissue mobilization techniques (STMT) and capacitive and resistive electric transfer therapy (TECAR) may reduce pain and improve function.AimTo evaluate the effectiveness of combining STMT with TECAR using resistive bracelet electrodes in women with CNSNP.MethodA parallel-group, assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted in accordance with CONSORT guidelines. Eighty women were randomly assigned to an experimental group (STMT + TECAR) or control (STMT only). TECAR was applied at 500 kHz: 10 min of capacitive mode with a conventional electrode, followed by simultaneous STMT and resistive mode using bracelet electrodes. Participants received 15 sessions over five weeks. NPRS, pressure pain thresholds (PPT), cervical range of motion (ROM), and Neck Disability Index (NDI) were assessed at baseline, week 5, and 6-month follow-up.ResultsThe experimental group showed significantly greater improvements at week 5 in NPRS, NDI, all PPT areas, lateral flexion, and right rotation ROM (p < .05). Clinically meaningful improvements in NPRS and NDI were observed only in the experimental group, while both groups achieved clinically significant gains in PPT. Improvements were sustained at six months; left rotation ROM differed only at follow-up. No differences were found in neck flexion or extension.ConclusionsCombining STMT with TECAR using bracelet electrodes resulted in superior improvements in pain, function, and ROM in women with CNSNP versus STMT alone, likely due to the synergistic mechanical and thermal effects of the intervention.</p>","PeriodicalId":15129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"10538127251342557"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144078202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary risk factor for osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVCFs) is the severity of osteoporosis, defined as low bone mineral density (BMD) in both peripheral and central regions. In addition to BMD, sarcopenia is also thought to affect OVCFs by reducing paraspinal muscle mass and strength.ObjectiveWe aimed to evaluate the association between vertebral compression fractures and paraspinal/psoas muscle characteristics, including muscle mass and fatty degeneration, using quantitative MRI measurements.MethodsWe retrospectively enrolled 77 patients aged ≥60 years who were diagnosed with acute OVCF between January 2019 and August 2023. The control group consisted of age- and sex-matched patients with osteoporosis (BMD > -2.5) who were followed up without fractures for at least six months. Demographic characteristics, relative total cross-sectional area (rTCSA) and relative functional CSA (rFCSA) of the multifidus (MF), erector spinae (ES), and psoas major (PS) were measured at the L4-5 and L5-S levels on MRI.ResultsThe TCSA and rTCSA of the multifidus (MF) and erector spinae (ES) muscles at both the L4-5 and L5-S1 levels did not show significant differences between the control and OVCF groups. (all p value > 0.05) The mean FCSAL4-5 of the MF 8.97 ± 2.81, ES 16.73 ± 6.49, the mean FCSAL5-1 of the MF 9.43 ± 3.27, ES 10.76 ± 5.79 in the fracture group, while the mean FCSAL4-5 of the MF 11.39 ± 2.6, ES 19.35 ± 4.04, the mean FCSAL5-1 of the MF 13.42 ± 2.56, ES 14.11 ± 4.6 in the non-fracture group. (PMFL4-5 < 0.001, PMFL5-1 < 0.001, PESL4-5 = 0.003, PESL5-1 < 0.001) The mean TCSA of the psoas muscle was significantly higher in the fracture group (17.65 ± 6.21) than in the control group (15.9 ± 4.14) (p = 0.042). Despite the significantly larger total psoas muscle mass in the fracture group, the rFCSA of the psoas muscle was lower in the fracture group (0.81 ± 0.27) compared to the control group (0.89 ± 0.25) (p = 0.046).ConclusionsThe study shows that the functional muscle mass of the paraspinal muscles is significantly lower in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) as compared to those without fractures. Quantitative measurement of the functional capacity of the paraspinal muscles using MRI can effectively predict the risk of OVCF and enable early intervention and adopt preventive measures to reduce the incidence of these fractures.</p>","PeriodicalId":15129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"10538127251340350"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144078262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comprehensive search of MEDLINE, Web of Science, CINAHL, Cochrane Central, EMBASE, Scopus, PEDro, ClinicalTrials.gov, and ICTRP was conducted in January 2025. Two independent reviewers selected studies and extracted data. Two independent reviewers selected studies and extracted data.ResultsEleven studies were included: eight on humans and three on animals. In humans, manual therapy triggered a transient local inflammatory response, raising temperature without activating coagulation or thrombosis risk. It also reduced unbound water in deep fascia, aiding pain relief and mobility. Animal studies showed anti-inflammatory effects via cytokine regulation and adenosine receptor involvement, with caffeine blocking pain relief. Massage-like stroking produced opioid-independent analgesia. Fascia manipulation relieved pain from densification and improved proprioception. Neuromusculary, it enhanced reaction time, movement efficiency, and motor performance, lasting up to a week.ConclusionsThis ScR suggests that fascia manipulation exerts its therapeutic effects through a combination of anti-inflammatory cytokine modulation, mechanoreceptor stimulation, and improvement in fascial gliding and proprioceptive feedback.
